The Solgar Magnesium Citrate 200mg is a dietary supplement in tablets, with 200mg of magnesium per tablet, i.e. 400mg of magnesium in the recommended daily dose of two tablets, a quantity corresponding to 107% of the Reference Dietary Intakes. Magnesium is here in the form of magnesium citrate, i.e. bound with citric acid, an organic compound found naturally in citrus fruits. The package contains 120 tablets.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their daily magnesium needs with a stable, measured dose: people with an intense schedule and many hours on their feet, athletes who lose electrolytes through sweat, and those whose diet is poor in leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grain cereals, which are the main dietary sources of the metal.
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant metal in the human body and participates as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions. The most characteristic is the management of ATP, the molecule that carries energy within the cell: ATP is biologically active mainly when bound to magnesium. This is why magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
Its second major role is to balance with calcium. In the muscle cell, calcium triggers contraction and magnesium participates in the relaxation that follows, while at the same time regulating the excitability of nerve cells. From this dual action come the approved claims that magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal nervous system function, normal psychological function and electrolyte balance.* Magnesium also participates in bone structure, where it is stored about 60% of the body's total magnesium.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, Magnesium Citrate is a bioavailable and highly absorbable form of magnesium compared to other chemical forms, and the company states that magnesium helps with the following:
Solgar recommends the product to active people looking for energy, for support of muscle and bone health and for mental balance. The above statements are attributed to the manufacturer.
In supplements, magnesium is never found alone, it is always combined with another molecule. Inorganic forms, such as oxide, have a high percentage of elemental magnesium by weight but low solubility. Organic forms, such as citrate, glycine or malate, dissolve more easily in the digestive environment. Citrate is the form used here by Solgar, and the company itself describes it as highly absorbable.
The formula is declared by the manufacturer to be suitable for vegans and free of sugar, starch, gluten, wheat, dairy, soy and yeast.
It suits adults with increased physical activity, who sweat a lot and want consistent electrolyte coverage. It suits people with a demanding schedule and intense mental fatigue, who seek support for normal nervous system function. It also suits those who follow a restrictive or monotonous diet and do not regularly consume legumes, nuts and green leafy vegetables, as well as older adults interested in maintaining normal bones.
